Chapter 646 Blocking the Road and Crying Out for Justice
On the sedan chair, Wang Wenzhou held Wang Yingbao in his arms, gently stroking her swollen belly, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, if you give birth to a son, our family will have Wang Xiaohua!"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Ying nodded happily and said with a smile, "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely try my best to have a son! These days, I have been taking the fertility formula. They say that as long as you keep taking it every day before giving birth, you will definitely have a big, healthy boy!"
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was completely dumbfounded. My God! How could my baby be so stupid? How could he believe such nonsense?
Wang Wenzhou frowned and said coldly, "Sister-in-law, I don't care what kind of secret recipe it is, you're not allowed to eat it anymore!"
"Huh?" Wang Ying's eyes reddened upon hearing this. A mother's status rises with her sons; Wang Wenzhou's children were almost all sons. Her status in the family was already lower than Liu Rushi and Sheng Lan's. If she were to have another daughter, wouldn't her status plummet? What exactly does "enemy" mean?
"Husband, don't you want me to have a son?" Wang Ying asked, tears streaming down her face, looking at Wang Wenzhou with a wronged expression.
"Oh my god!" Wang Wenzhou said, laughing and crying at the same time, "Sister-in-law, don't cry! Listen to me first, all those fertility secrets are scams! You're almost five months pregnant now, the baby is already formed in your belly. Even if the fertility secret worked, it wouldn't have any effect if you took it now."
"Really?" Wang Ying wiped away her tears and cried out, "My friend didn't say that before Liu Rushi gave birth to Liu Xiaohua, she was taking a fertility secret recipe every day, and that's how she gave birth to a son!"
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, who told you that? How could Ru Ru be so foolish?"
Wang Ying pouted and said aggrievedly, "That's what Sister Li Xiangjun said!"
Wang Wenzhou said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Sister-in-law, are you stupid? When you were pregnant, Li Xiangjun's baby wasn't here. Don't listen to her nonsense. That's superstition! Also, you're not allowed to have postpartum confinement!"
"What?" Wang Yingbao couldn't hold back any longer and cried, "Husband, I know you only have Sister Liu Rushi and Sister Sheng Lan in your heart. But what did I do wrong? Why won't you let me have my postpartum confinement! If I don't take proper care of myself during my postpartum confinement, I'll get postpartum illnesses!"
Good heavens! Wang Wenzhou wanted to slap himself a few times. What the hell is this postpartum confinement?! There were foolish wives in later generations who, during the sweltering summer, stayed under blankets during their postpartum confinement and died of heatstroke. Postpartum confinement is a completely unscientific and outdated custom. Besides, all they do is eat and sleep all day, never even getting out of bed; they easily become obese and emaciated.
It was either Little S or Big S who once said, "Women either have to be thin or die! Fat people are guilty!"
Wang Wenzhou gently wiped away Wang Ying's tears and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, how could I not love you? Don't be silly! Think about it carefully, how have I not cared for you? You have everything that Ru Ru and Lan Lan have! The secret formula for having a baby is a lie! You'll turn into an old sow during postpartum confinement!"
Women are mostly neurotic to begin with, and pregnant women experience even more severe symptoms due to hormonal imbalances.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying cried even harder, wiping away her tears and saying heartbrokenly, "You just don't love me anymore!"
At this moment, Sheng Lan lifted the sedan curtain and came in. When she saw Wang Ying crying so sadly, she immediately scolded, "Husband, really! Wang Ying is pregnant, why are you bullying her?"
Wang Wenzhou said, both amused and exasperated, "Lazy Blue, I didn't bully her!"
“Wang Ying, tell me, what happened?” Sheng Lan asked.
Wang Ying said aggrievedly, "My husband doesn't want me to have a son, and he won't even let me have a postpartum confinement period!"
Sheng Lan looked at Wang Wenzhou with suspicion. Her nemesis treated his wives and concubines exceptionally well, so why was he treating Wang Ying like this? She had never seen her nemesis dislike Wang Ying!
“Lazy Blue, all those baby-making secrets are fake! Postpartum confinement is an outdated custom and has no benefits!” Wang Wenzhou quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lan complained, "Husband, what do you know about women's matters! Don't just drink and act recklessly all day! What if Wang Ying gets sick from being upset by you while she's pregnant?"
Wang Wenzhou was quite helpless. Let alone Ming Dynasty women, even many women in later generations who had received scientific education couldn't accept not having a postpartum period. Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment, then decided, "Fine! Let the baby do what she wants. Anyway, I can't persuade her."
"Thump!" Wang Wenzhou immediately knelt down and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. I was wrong. I was drunk just now and talked nonsense!"
"Waaah..." Wang Ying wiped away her tears and asked aggrievedly, "Husband, did I do something wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, you're not wrong, you really aren't wrong, it's my fault!" Wang Wenzhou was very frustrated. Women are all crazy!
"Husband, what did I do wrong? Tell me quickly! I'll change, I really will change!" Wang Ying really thought she had done something wrong, otherwise her husband wouldn't act like this. Even when he was drunk, he would never bully her.
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment, then decided to stop explaining. He figured that explaining would only make things worse. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, it's nothing really, it's just that you haven't slept with me since you got pregnant!"
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed and complained, "Husband, stop messing around! You have so many sisters, aren't they enough for you to sleep with? Sister Wang Ying is pregnant, how are you going to sleep with her? What if she hurts the baby? If you keep acting up, I'll really get angry!"
"Lazy Blue, Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please don't be angry!" Wang Wenzhou quickly begged for forgiveness.
Sheng Lan took Wang Ying's hand and said, "Wang Ying, you heard it too. That guy is just like that, always up to no good. Don't be angry. Getting angry will ruin your health and cause problems with the baby. Let's go, let's ignore him."
"Okay!" Wang Ying nodded and followed Sheng Lan out of the sedan chair.
Wang Wenzhou was so frustrated! His own children were all superstitious illiterates! Talking to them was like casting pearls before swine. Fortunately, there were no anti-radiation suits in this era; if there were, Wang Ying would definitely wear one too.
Wang Wenzhou always thought that those silly girls who bought anti-radiation suits must have failed middle and high school physics! Radiation is everywhere in life; wherever there is light, there is radiation. It's no wonder that so-called anti-radiation suits made of special fabrics can't really block radiation! If that were true, hospital radiology departments wouldn't use lead plates as thick as the walls.
Just as Wang Wenzhou was about to get out of the sedan chair to grab a baby to keep him company, Jian Fengyu suddenly knocked on the sedan chair and said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, there is someone blocking the way ahead."
Wang Wenzhou was still fuming from the baby's antics, and he snapped, "Who the hell dares to block my way? Beat them up! Beat them so badly their own parents won't recognize them!"
Jian Fengyu said with a wry smile, "My lord, you should go and see for yourself! We dare not make a move!"
"What?" Wang Wenzhou frowned. Could it be that someone was blocking the road and crying out for justice? Anyway, I'm in a bad mood today, so going to play with the upright official who seeks justice for the people is not a bad idea.
